The first book in the series titled The Crow’s Call introduces readers to the King family who experience a tragedy that will either draw the family closer to God and each other or not. In this second tale, the strain of running a greenhouse on their property has become heavier as there are acts of vandalism on the property. Belinda is the main female character and the mother who must now run the greenhouse business and while hurting also tries to help her family through the maze of grief. Now, this may sound like a depressing tale to read but there is much hope interwoven in the pages. On top of that, there is a flair of mystery. Then, add a neighbor lady named Virginia who loves to look at her neighbors’ actions through a pair of binoculars!
Henry and Sylvia are working through their grief and learning to live again as they take up the hobby of watching birds. Sylvia has two small children to raise alone and while she doesn’t see herself as having any kind of a future with anyone, a surprise just might be in store for this young widowed woman. A new character is introduced in this book by the name of Dennis Weaver who is shy and while he is interested in Sylvia, he knows that he must forgive a wrong in the past in order to have any kind of future with her.
There are themes of faith throughout the book, and I think it shows how it anchors the soul when storms come. The author does a splendid job of balancing the reality of grief with faith and working through the anger sometimes aimed at God. The tale shows how the King family is just beginning to learn to live again without their loved ones and the hope that can come with new relationships as well as drawing near to God.
I look forward to the concluding book set to come out in Spring of 2021 titled The Robins Greeting to see who has been vandalizing the family, what is in Sylvia’s future and more. Hope you enjoy the series too!

Another awesome book
"The Mockingbird's Song" is book # 2 of {Amish Greenhouse Mystery} series by Wanda E. Brunstetter. This particular book is focused more on Sylvia's journey. The emotions from losing her husband Toby, her brother Abe, and her father Vernon in a horrible accident. Not only is she a mother of 2 small children, she is going through several different stages of the grieving process. She takes up birdwatching with her younger brother Henry to help distract her from everything. Her and Henry end up meeting a new to the area Amish man named Dennis while bird watching. He is also looking for a fresh start after a tragedy. He ended up renting Sylvia's home and starting his business. They all become close friends through birdwatching, which then turns into a relationship. Also, the greenhouse is still suffering from several acts of vandalism. Amy marries Jared, and there is a barn raising. And their mother Belinda and brother Henry are still going through their own struggle with grieving. .....I received this book free from Barbour Publishing and Wanda Brunstetter. This is my honest review.

really liked it
The Mockingbirds Song by Wanda E Brunstetter Is book 2 in the Amish Greenhouse Mystery Series.
Still dealing with the tragic death of three family members Sylvia has struggled to cope. Her mother who is dealing slightly better however she is overcompensating by hovering over her grown children. Will both these women be able to come to terms with their loss or will they loose all hope and faith. There are many twists and turns in this book and I found myself at times wishing this book would just get to the point. I did enjoy this book and look forward to book 3 in the series because I also realize just as like this book it’s like life sometimes it takes some people quite awhile to recover a death and others will recover much sooner.
I do recommend this book
